Summer is just around the corner, which means camping trips and backyard campfires. Learn how satisfying it can be to cook a meal over a warm campfire with the experts from Illinois Extension.

A free class will be held at the Sassafras Shelter at Lincoln Trail State Park on Wednesday, May 25 at 5:30 p.m. Registration is required online at go.illinois.edu/campfirecooking or by calling the Extension Office at 217-826-5422. The class is open to individuals and families of all ages and skill levels.

Educators from Illinois Extension will demonstrate basic food safety and prepare and cook meals over a campfire.
“One of the easiest meals to prepare over a campfire is breakfast,” said Mary Liz Wright, Extension nutrition and wellness educator. “We will definitely teach you a couple of morning meal recipes.”
